Festive crochet preparations are underway | Emma Lamb

Woo-hoo! The festive preparations are finally underway! Lots of red, cream and burgundy with a wee drop of black and gold. Lots of crochet and lots of vintage lace with a sprinkling of vintage sequins and bead appliques. Not so much light for photographing. A whole lot of stitching waiting for me tomorrow and in a day or two a huge dose of festive glee!

Red and white festive Etsy favourites curated by Emma Lamb

Lately my timing has been off with trying to bag an Etsy treasury spot, every time I pop by to have a peek it seems that I'm about a half hour too late! Very frustrating! Especially when my favourites are piling up and looking great for some lovely festive themed treasuries. I seem to have developed quite a taste for the classic red and white combo...

weekend inspiration : a touch of 'glee'

I think a wee pick me up with some weekend inspiration from Flickr, is the perfect way to round off the week. Somehow I always find a few minutes for browsing Flickr, updating groups and adding lots of pretty pics to my favourites, but it's been a wee while since I've been able to indulge myself by playing with the mosaic maker. Today I have treated myself to just that and looking through my favourites I found these lovelies...

I think my favourite colour combination has to be these non-colours (cream, white, grey, beige and black) with lovely snippets of red, olive, mustard, teal and orange. I can't help combining them in my crochet work and I love seeing them being applied so beautifully in these images. Especially in this gorgeous festive door ornament that Miss Tif (aka ~ dottie angel) posted on her blog yesterday as part of her 'week of glee'. Miss Tif was also lovely enough to tell all of how she made this 'cluster of glee' in her post.

If I can find a few odd balls of yarn that I'm willing to part with I shall definitely be adding a wee bit of festive, granny chic 'glee' to my studio.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
